“Healthy minds create positive impact”
Intent Blog Team,
I came upon your journal when searching for spirituality and empowerment. I like to read from people who integrate these two principles because they make every day productive. They also follow an internal code of conduct that guides them. Below is how I utilize these principles and developed my own internal code.
I use my internal code to empower people. This inner passion creates positive change be it for-profit, non-profit, or studying. In order to eat, breathe, and sleep this mantra; a mindset must be developed. A healthy mind leads to healthy actions, which in turn lead to an empowered society.
I developed this mindset by changing habits that I am in control of. I started to drink carrot juice in the morning and soon found my mind less distracted in the early hours. I also stopped drinking coffee during long workdays. I instead run every morning and drink more water.
In conclusion, a healthy mind requires positive habits for positive development of its internal code. Think about this the next time your day is not going the way planned. You might be surprised.
I leave with some recent posts from Intent Blog writers who inspire me to keep a healthy mindset:

Ash....therefore the saying goes
'Healthy in mind healthy in body'
carrot juice in the morning?
In Poland, that's what we drink after.. we get sick..;)
In 'The Mars and Venus Diet and Exercise Solution: Create the Brain Chemistry of Health, Happiness, and Lasting Romance', -John Gray,
writes, about Aloe Vera, and lemon juice, as the ultimite, after wake up, boost,
But, before a morning jog and workout?
..
?
Have a great day,
With Passion!,
Ash,
Good luck with the ascetic approach,
sounds like you'd make an ambitious coach.
.
Go Team! Drink that tasty orange-colored juice!
Now drop and give me 20 Suryanamaskars!
You don't have time to watch the sun rise
or smell those temporary, short-lived flowers.
We must go, go, go and work, work, work
if we wish to gain power and spiritual prestige!
If you follow my own created rules for internal conduct
they will show you where to find your own inner conflicts.
Self-sacrifice and suffering is good for your
mental and bodily health and reduces stress.
As you obstain from seeking pleasure and chasing
day-dreams remember that it's a team effort
and the goal is to win the battle against
the ego and to do what's best for the whole.
No pain, no gain, no blemish, no stain,
no coffee, no smoking, no laughing, no joking,
no kidding, nor cussing, no moaning, nor fussing,
no candy, no puppies, no brandy, no yuppies,
no sex, no shows, no guns, no rose,
no fishing, no wishing, no whining, no bitching...
just block out the beauty, no play, it's your duty!
Aye, aye, aye...the outcome hinges on the balance,
and the next wave will wash away my sand castles.
Unless, that is, ambition builds a dam
and pride blows away the sea!
Dominion over Heaven and Earth shall be your reward.
.
Ye are Gods...eat the fruit or you degrade The Garden!
i definitely agree with you that both the body and the mind are integral to the peace of the whole. i get caught up in the maintenance aspect.
thank you for the post.
Dear Ash, your post is a serving reminder to self, to perservere to maintain a healthy internal lifestyle. If everyone on the planet were attentive to their personal "needs" we would probably see a great decline in negative actions on the planet.
Carrot juice? No thanks, but I do indulge myself fruit juice from concentrate(real fruit kind)... strawberry kiwi is my ultimate favorite fruit-juice!!
Also, a nice tip: use yoghurt on salads instead of salad dressings, which are layden with artery-clogging oils and fats.
with loving kindness,
North

1. Action vs. Self-Delusion by Jim Rohn
Knowledge fueled by emotion equals action. Action is the ingredient that ensures results. Only action can cause reaction. Further, only positive action can cause positive reaction.
Action. The whole world loves to watch those who make things happen, and it rewards them for causing waves of productive enterprise.
I stress this because today I see many people who are really sold on affirmations. And yet there is a famous saying that "Faith without action serves no useful purpose." How true!
I have nothing against affirmations as a tool to create action. Repeated to reinforce a disciplined plan, affirmations can help create wonderful results.
But there is also a very thin line between faith and folly. You see - affirmations without action can be the beginnings of self-delusion. And for your well-being there is little worse than self-delusion.
The man who dreams of wealth and yet walks daily toward certain financial disaster and the woman who wishes for happiness and yet thinks thoughts and commits acts that lead her toward certain despair are both victims of the false hope which affirmations without action can manufacture. Why? Because words soothe and, like a narcotic, they lull us into a state of complacency.
Remember this: TO MAKE PROGRESS YOU MUST ACTUALLY GET STARTED!
The key is to take a step today. Whatever the project, start TODAY. Start clearing out a drawer of your newly organized desk... today. Start setting your first goal... today. Start listening to motivational CDs... today. Start a sensible weight-reduction plan... today. Start calling on one tough customer a day... today. Start putting money in your new "investment for fortune" account... today. Write a long-overdue letter... today. ANYONE CAN! Even an uninspired person can start reading inspiring books.
Get some momentum going on your new commitment for the good life. See how many activities you can pile on your new commitment to the better life. Go all out! Break away from the downward pull of gravity. Start your thrusters going. Prove to yourself that the waiting is over and the hoping is past -- that faith and action have now taken charge.
It's a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be amazed at how much progress you'll be able to make. What have you got to lose except the guilt and fear of the past?
Now, I offer you this challenge: See how many things you can start and continue in this -- the first day of your new beginning.
To Your Success,

1. Attitude Is Everything by Jim Rohn
The process of human change begins within us. We all have tremendous potential. We all desire good results from our efforts. Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and happiness demand.
Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, that produces the intensity of our activity, and predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.
Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we are faced with new challenges. No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.
No one else "makes us angry." We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to a test. If we select a volatile attitude by becoming hostile, angry, jealous or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test.
If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.
If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining total dominion over our attitude. Our attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value, which must be protected accordingly. Beware of the vandals and thieves among us who would injure our positive attitude or seek to steal it away.
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve that influences all the other areas of our existence.
To Your Success,
~Jim Rohn

Positive impact does not come from ignorance.
Ignorance calm down, when you are not scared anymore of the Fire.
Ignorance is opened, when you know what is Fire.
Ignorance disappears, when you accept to be killed by the Fire.
Positive actions come when destroyed, your knowledge holds the Negative in one hand and the Positive in the other, another hand appearing that hold Life!
I say: Action!!!!
